How and Why
Capacity and Running Time
Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather living more comfortable:
Cools and circulates room air.
UxF Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture. High moisture levels may cause the air conditioner to drip excess moisture outside.
Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some airborne impurities.
The air conditioner performs these functions by drawing room air through a filter which traps dust and dirt particles. The air then passes over a cooling coil which
refrigerates the air and removes excess moisture. The same air is then returned to the room
_d" to the outside and evaporated. This moisture may form ice on the inside coil if the outside temperature is below 65 degrees. Setting the air conditioner on the fastest fan setting in FAN ONLY will defrost the coil.
Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of
o_c/,cooling power. Your air conditioner is also more efficient than (most) older models and may run longer to cool the room, but will use less energy due to higher ener-
gy efficiency ratings.
Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired comfort for the area you want
to cool. The proper size is determined by the number of square feet in the area to be cooled.
Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal the air conditioner must run longer and more often to keep the desired temperature you have selected. Under heavy heat load conditions the air conditioner may need to run constantly to keep the temperature you want. Allow some time to cool the room if the air conditioner was recently turned on. Using the "AUTO START" feature will allow you to start cooling the room prior to returning home.
At times using the fastest Fan setting to circulate the room air may make it comfortable even though you do not have the air conditioner set to cool the air. This will decrease your cost to use.
Normal Sounds

At the front of the unit,
you may hear the sound
of rushing air being moved by the fan.
Hi/._bIJitc:bod C_attot*
Today'shigh efficiency compressors may have a high pitched chatter during the cooling cycle.
Unit may vibrate and make
noise because of poor wall or window construction or
incorrect installation.
IJitzqitzq or",s'zz_i._bitzq Droplets of water hitting condenser during normal operation may cause
"pinging or swishing" sounds.
"Gurgling or hissing" noise may be heard due to refrigerant passing through evaporator during normal operation.
